FROM paddleboarding to customer service, a variety of career options were on display at the Isle of Wight College this afternoon (Thursday).

The careers, education and jobs fair was run by the Isle of Wight Council in partnership with the college, and sponsored by Island Futures, the County Press and the Job Centre Plus.

Two of the Island's newest businesses, Ascensos and Asda, were also recruiting at the fair.

Chloe Watherspoon, 15, attended the fair to find out how she could take her interests in maths and engineering further. She said: "Today I learnt there are a lot of options available to me — it's almost overwhelming with how much is available."
